Start mysql in the powerbi interface
Not as simple as starting sql sever
There is no built-in library of mysql in powerbi
So powerbi cannot directly read mysql data.
To download a plugin
The download method is as follows
Step 1: Open powerbi and click the red box as shown in the picture
Step 2: Continue to click on the red box
Step 3: Trigger the search box and search for mysql in the search box
Step 4: Click on the mysql database
Step 5: If the mysql plug-in of powerbi has not been installed, this interface will be triggered. Click on the blue word "Learn more information"
Step 6: Click for detailed information, a web page will appear, click the Archives option, and download the corresponding version of the mysql plug-in according to the web page prompts, and this interface will appear after installation.
Just fill in the relevant information
Supplementary note:
Powerbi can also use basic functions, data processing and the like even when the network is completely disconnected. If you want to use powerbi when the network is disconnected, you can download the powerbi installation package on the networked computer and then use a USB flash drive to copy it to the disconnected computer. In the case of network disconnection, powerbi can be used without forcing login. If you want to use powerbi to retrieve the data in the mysql database when the network is disconnected, you can get it in the same way. You can also use a USB flash drive to copy the newly downloaded plug-in to the disconnected computer. It can also be used, provided that the version is the same.
